I remember long, long ago when my wife and I were in a Sunday school
class and the teacher didn't really like my contribution.
Valentine's Day was coming up and the lesson was about love of course.
The teacher had a dry erase board at the front of the room. He wrote
the word "love" on it. He asked us in the class if we could think of
songs with the word "love" in the title. "Endless Love" was named. A
couple of others that were good love songs were name. And then I
raised my hand and said "Radar Love".
Why? I was a young air traffic control specialist and had been
certified for a couple of years. It was very strange for me to be in
a Sunday school class because I usually worked Sundays. Somehow I had
that Sunday off and was able to go to church with my wife on a Sunday
morning, a rare occurrence early in our marriage. An air traffic
controller used radar to track airplanes. I really liked the driving
beat of the song by Golden Earring. And it just popped into my head!
The teacher scowled and said "that's not the kind of song I'm looking
for" and just kept rolling. And then we had a good lesson and a nice
discussion. But he made a real quick exit when the class was over and
we need to get out to the church sanctuary for service.
I've always been a little bit off be like that. Out of sync with the
people around me. Just doing my own thing!
Here's a link to the song radar love:
